    New york New york or Flamingo or Escalibur. I really like Escalibur but I just hate how it is furthur away from everything...Or if you're feelin' baller I would highly recommend Ceaser Palace haha. but yeah...either NY or Escalibur.. I haven't been to the Flamingo hotel in like 7 years...so I don't know how it is anymore...Luxor looks nice..never slept in there before...

    Where is the show? Don't be too picky about the hotel unless you're worried about how good the pool facilities are. You won't spend much time there anyway.

    it costs enough to even join SEMA that a booth seems a little out of the question for a company with 4-5 products all mostly under $100 with less than probably $20k annual sales.

    your sales numbers are a bit off :)

    I was just purely guessing there. Lots of people join SEMA to go to the show, its pretty easy to get in as long as its not in the months preceding the show, but an additional cost to be sure. Booths in the sema ghetto might start at $800, but prime space goes for $5k-30k

    th press coverage s phenomenal so it is worth it for the big guys to spend spend spend on SEMA nowadays

    yeah i'm sure those big booths are ridiculously expensive. biggest automotive aftermarket product trade show in the world though so i guess its worth it.

    I have not stayed at any of those hotels but its an easy town to get around so I would stay somewhere on the strip or real close anyway. I would also like to know what it takes to become a Grimmspeed "employee" don't you need someone to carry your bags around? Really.
